Techniques and architectures for providing an isolated runtime context in a shared environment

Abstract

Mechanisms and techniques for providing an isolated runtime environment are disclosed. Scoped properties are generated utilizing a namespace identifier. The namespace identifier is an identifier used to define a scope of at least an isolated application runtime context. Scoped objects are generated corresponding to one or more dependent services utilizing the one or more scoped properties and the namespace identifier. A target application is deployed to a container corresponding to the isolated application runtime context. The target application interacts with at least some of the dependent services utilizing the namespace identifier. At least one integration test is run on the target application in the container. The integration tests refer to the isolated application runtime context utilizing the namespace identifier.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, are configurable to cause the one or more processors to:
 generate one or more scoped properties utilizing a namespace identifier, wherein the namespace identifier is an identifier used to define a scope of at least an isolated application runtime context; 
 store the namespace identifier on at least one physical storage device; 
 generate one or more scoped objects corresponding to one or more dependent services utilizing the one or more scoped properties and the namespace identifier; 
 deploy a target application to a container corresponding to the isolated application runtime context, the target application to interact with at least some of the dependent services utilizing the namespace identifier; 
 run at least one integration test on the target application in the container, wherein the integration tests refer to the isolated application runtime context utilizing the namespace identifier. 
 
     
     
       2. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 1  wherein the isolated runtime context comprises a group of artifacts created in the one or more dependent services having the same namespace identifier that are privately accessible by the target application. 
     
     
       3. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 2  wherein the isolated runtime context comprises at least a data structure of key/value pairs, the key of each pair to indicate an artifact type and the value of each pair to indicate a namespace-decorated reference to the artifact in one of the one or more dependent services. 
     
     
       4. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 1  wherein the namespace identifier is provided as either a program argument or an environment variable. 
     
     
       5. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 1  wherein the one or more dependent services comprises at least one data logging platform. 
     
     
       6. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 1  wherein the one or more dependent services comprises at least one data analytics platform. 
     
     
       7. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 1  wherein an application context takes the namespace identifier from a program argument or from an environment variable. 
     
     
       8. A method comprising:
 generating one or more scoped properties utilizing a namespace identifier, wherein the namespace identifier is an identifier used to define a scope of at least an isolated application runtime context; 
 generating one or more scoped objects corresponding to one or more dependent services utilizing the one or more scoped properties and the namespace identifier; 
 deploying a target application to a container corresponding to the isolated application runtime context, the target application to interact with at least some of the dependent services utilizing the namespace identifier; 
 running at least one integration test on the target application in the container, wherein the integration tests refer to the isolated application runtime context utilizing the namespace identifier. 
 
     
     
       9. The method of  claim 8  wherein the isolated runtime context comprises a group of artifacts created in the one or more dependent services having the same namespace identifier that are privately accessible by the target application. 
     
     
       10. The method of  claim 9  wherein the isolated runtime context comprises at least a data structure of key/value pairs, the key of each pair to indicate an artifact type and the value of each pair to indicate a namespace-decorated reference to the artifact in one of the one or more dependent services. 
     
     
       11. The method of  claim 8  wherein the namespace identifier is provided as either a program argument or an environment variable. 
     
     
       12. The method of  claim 8  wherein the one or more dependent services comprises at least one data logging platform. 
     
     
       13. The method of  claim 8  wherein the one or more dependent services comprises at least one data analytics platform. 
     
     
       14. The method of  claim 8  wherein an application context takes the namespace identifier from a program argument or from an environment variable. 
     
     
       15. A system comprising:
 a memory system having multiple memory devices; 
 one or more hardware processors coupled with the memory system, the one or more hardware processors configurable to generate one or more scoped properties utilizing a namespace identifier, wherein the namespace identifier is an identifier used to define a scope of at least an isolated application runtime context, to generate one or more scoped objects corresponding to one or more dependent services utilizing the one or more scoped properties and the namespace identifier, to deploy a target application to a container corresponding to the isolated application runtime context utilizing the namespace identifier, the target application to interact with at least some of the dependent services, and to run at least one integration test on the target application in the container, wherein the integration tests refer to the isolated application runtime context utilizing the namespace identifier. 
 
     
     
       16. The system of  claim 15  wherein the isolated runtime context comprises a group of artifacts created in the one or more dependent services having the same namespace identifier that are privately accessible by the target application. 
     
     
       17. The system of  claim 16  wherein the isolated runtime context comprises at least a data structure of key/value pairs, the key of each pair to indicate an artifact type and the value of each pair to indicate a namespace-decorated reference to the artifact in one of the one or more dependent services. 
     
     
       18. The system of  claim 15  wherein the namespace identifier is provided as either a program argument or an environment variable. 
     
     
       19. The system of  claim 15  wherein the one or more dependent services comprises at least one data analytics platform. 
     
     
       20. The system of  claim 15  wherein an application context takes the namespace identifier from a program argument or from an environment variable.
